It has a rugged design with a rubber-like finish. It’s still pocketable yet solid in the hands. The package comes with a carabiner so you can easily clip it to a bag or belt. As for its charging capabilities, it has two 3.4A full-sized USB port for output, 2A microUSB for input charging, and a LED flashlight.

RAVPower RP-PB19

When it comes to charging, it has two USB ports for 2.1A to 2.4A charging that uses the iSmart technology which detects the charging needs of connected devices and automatically delivers the proper output, a 2A microUSB input, and a LED flashlight.

RAVPower RP-PB43

If you require a bigger battery, the RAVPower RP-PB43 won’t disappoint with its 20,100mAh capacity. It looks like a brick with a matte finish but it packs charging features you won’t normally see in a standard power bank.

For starters, it has 3A USB Type-C port for input and output charging, a 2A microUSB input, 2.4A USB port with iSmart technology, and a 2.4A Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 USB port.

RAVPower RP-PB41
